Tang Dynasty detective

Yen Ziyu bid farewell to Mrs. Yang, and returned to the inn with Zhang Yuqing.

Wei Luo looked anxious, and finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw them come back.

Yen Ziyu said: "Why are you in such a hurry, just run away, and we can exchange errands if we find something."

Wei Luo said, "He recognizes me."

Everyone was taken aback.

Wei Luo regretted deeply, and said: "I was too careless. I didn't expect Xiao Yanfeng to know how to change his face. After I caught him, I searched him and gave him all the medicines I could find, but still didn't take them." Clean, he took off my mask while I didn’t have the medicine ready, fortunately I was prepared and the poison was not deep. But he must have recognized me.”

Zhen Ziyu said: "So, he was indeed sent by someone from the court."

Wei Luo nodded, and said: "Yes, he can recognize me, which means that his master's official rank is not low. I guard Si Tiantai all the year round, and rarely show up in court. Ordinary people can't see me."

Zhang Yuqing said: "The Grand Canal is fast-flowing, and it is unlikely that he survived. Even if he managed to get ashore, with Huang Laoqi's murder on his back, and the government is sending people everywhere to arrest him, it will be very difficult for him to escape back to Chang'an."

Wei Luo sighed, and said, "I'm used to walking alone, and no one can find me if I hide in the deep mountains. It's just that I'm afraid that I'll hurt Guanlan."

Zhang Yuqing said: "Don't worry, Guanlan's foundation is not so easily shaken, otherwise, it wouldn't be able to stand firm after all these years of investigating cases."

Di Jinghong said: "That's right, don't worry, don't worry, if Guanlan is so cowardly, Brother Yuqing won't hide in Guanlan, hahahaha."

Zhang Yuqing: "..." I obviously... well, I hid in Guanlan.

Yen Ziyu asked, "What did you find?"

Wei Luo handed Ye Mingzhu and the account book to Zhen Ziyu.

Zhen Ziyu said: "Wait a minute, everyone. I'll change clothes. Let's go to the Grand Canal to track down Xiao Yanfeng. At least... we have to show it to the government and the Ouyang family."

After Zhang Yuqing and Liu Boen left, Zhen Ziyu sent Di Jinghong away with an excuse, and then said to Wei Luo, "Wei Luo, you leave for Chang'an immediately."

Wei Luo knew that he already had an arrangement, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Zhen Ziyu said: "Although Guanlan's foundation is quite deep, since we already know there is a risk, we have to plan ahead to prevent it. We can't wait for the soldiers to come and then block it, and the water to cover it with soil."

Wei Luo said, "How to prevent it?"

Zhen Ziyu said: "Just like last time, you write another secret letter, and the letter says... You traveled all over the world, asked about cultivating immortals, and passed through Yangzhou. When you saw an ominous atmosphere, I am afraid that the fortune of the country will be shaken." , Therefore, you have to retreat in the southern suburbs of Yangzhou for 81 days, catch monsters, and pray for the country. In addition, I will tell you three major events, and you will also write them into the letter to remind the emperor to take precautions. It will be fulfilled one by one. Find a way to deliver this letter to the emperor."

Wei Luo said: "That's great. In this way, even if Xiao Yanfeng returns to Chang'an by chance, the emperor will not believe their slander."

Zhen Ziyu said: "No, it's not enough. You must complete this matter as quickly as possible. The monarch is suspicious by nature, and this alone cannot completely avoid suspicion. You must return to Chang'an before Xiao Yanfeng. Xiao Yanfeng Your master is the person next to the emperor. The emperor is on the sickbed, and his every move is controlled by others. Even if you do this without anyone noticing, after the letter is delivered to the emperor, the people around him will know the information. So , we want to make the first major event come true immediately, then the emperor will be happy, once the emperor is happy, even if the person gets information about Xiao Yanfeng, he will not dare to slander rashly."

Wei Luo said: "For the time being, that's the only way to go. However, there are so many masters in the deep palace, and if you want to send the letter in, you need to use your brains."

Zhen Ziyu thought for a moment, then said, "You don't have to go by yourself, you send the letter to the East Palace."

Wei Luo said: "Let the prince deliver it?"

Zhen Ziyu said: "Yes. In the last letter, you have already expressed your heart and support for His Highness the Crown Prince's succession to the throne. This time, passing the letter to the Crown Prince is a way to sell the Prince's favor. In this way, you only need to endure it until next year." In the beginning of spring, when the prince succeeds to the throne, you can ask the new emperor to completely set you free, and at that time, you can be your official judge of Guanlan."

Wei Luo smiled and said, "Good idea, Ziyu, you are really little Zhuge, with you, all problems will be solved easily."

Zhen Ziyu said: "Be careful this time, be careful, be careful."

Wei Luo said: "Don't dare to be careless anymore."

Zhen Ziyu said: "You have one more thing to do before you can leave." He whispered a few words into Wei Luo's ear, and Wei Luo nodded and wrote them down.

After explaining what Wei Luo was going to do, Yen Ziyu went through the account book that Wei Luo had brought back, and wrote down the important contents. Then, he changed into his robes and set off for the Grand Canal with Zhang Yuqing, Di Jinghong and Liu Boen. Find Xiao Yanfeng.

They searched for a while by the Grand Canal, and when they reached a place where no one was around, Zhen Ziyu soaked the account book into the water.

Di Jinghong said, "Ziyu, what are you doing?"

Zhang Yuqing stopped Di Jinghong and said with a smile, "Do you know why he came to the Grand Canal?"

Di Jinghong said: "Why?"

Zhang Yuqing said: "He thinks the well water is too clean, haha."

Di Jinghong was in a fog when he heard it.

Zhen Ziyu reached out and pressed the account book in the water, and when the account book was completely soaked, he fished it up, "That's right, the well water is clean, but the river water is dirty, and the river water smells like water. To fake it, you have to make it watertight." .”

Di Jinghong said: "What fake?"

Zhang Yuqing said: "Where do you come up with so much nonsense, obediently follow your lead, and just study hard."

Di Jinghong drooped his head and muttered: "Okay." He raised his eyes and shouted, "Xiao Yanfeng, hurry up." I saw a masked man, dressed very similar to Xiao Yanfeng, who was panicking. Panicked and ran along the river.

Zhen Ziyu gave Zhang Yuqing a wink and said, "Chase."

Zhang Yuqing understood, "All of you don't get started, just watch the battle from the sidelines, and beware of his poison. I will go up and meet him first."

Several people listened to Zhang Yuqing's arrangement and stood not far away to watch the battle.

I don't know whether Xiao Yanfeng's rank is too high, or Zhang Yuqing's performance is abnormal today. The two fought for more than ten rounds, but there was no winner.The servants of the government and the servants of Ouyang's family all rushed to hear the sound, Xiao Yan made a false move and fled along the river, Zhang Yuqing was already out of breath and did not catch up.

Seeing that Xiao Yanfeng had run away, the people of Ouyang's family hurriedly asked Zhang Yuqing, "Where did he go?"

Zhang Yuqing was out of breath and his head was covered with sweat, "Front, front." The yamen servant and Ouyang's servants chased in Zhang Yuqing's direction. Zhang Yuqing grabbed Ouyang Jianguang's elder brother and said, "I want to see you right away." Ma'am, there is something important."

……

Seeing Mrs. Yang, Zhang Yuqing handed Ye Mingzhu and the account book soaked in the water of the Grand Canal to her, clasped his fists and said, "Ma'am, we are very guilty for not returning the jade to Zhao." What Zhang Yuqing was referring to was the account book, which was already blurred and became A pile of waste paper.

Yang did not blame them, but was very happy, saying: "It's okay, it's okay, I've helped Ouyang's family a lot if I found it." She told Xiao Dezi, "Hurry up and pay the four judges."

Xiao Dezi responded.

Yang said again: "The reward is double."

Di Jinghong's eyes widened suddenly, and he got rich.

Yen Ziyu twitched the corner of his mouth indistinctly.

It was only then that Di Jinghong understood why Yen Ziyu had soaked the account book. This was a secret of the Ouyang family, and Yang didn't want anyone to see it, including the four Guanlan judges.The account book was broken, but she was relieved.

The Yang family wanted to pay double the remuneration, and the four of them didn't shirk it. Anyway, the money was not even a drop in the bucket in Ouyang's family.Besides, because the four of them were tortured enough in this case, and Ziyu was also punished, the Ouyang family was willing to pay double, and they had nothing to be ashamed to accept.

After receiving the money, Zhen Ziyu reminded Yang again, "Ma'am, Ziyu has something to say and I don't know if I should say it or not."

Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "Ziyu, but it's okay." She looked at Zhen Ziyu and was really happy in her heart. Although Ziyu seemed to be unable to enter Ouyang's house, she still liked this young man, and even followed Ouyang Jian Guang called him "Zi Yu".

Zhen Ziyu said: "I don't know if the contents of that account book are important or not. I'm afraid that Xiao Yanfeng... read it."

Yang's smile froze on his face.She was so happy that she forgot about it.That's right, Xiao Yanfeng ran away. If he saw the content, wouldn't there be endless troubles?

What Yen Ziyu meant, the Ouyang family had to do everything possible to catch Xiao Yanfeng.

Although Zhen Ziyu has taken care of Wei Luo's future, if Xiao Yanfeng is caught by the Ouyang family, he will be more at ease and will never have any future troubles.

Yang looked at the four judges.

This look——

Zhang Yuqing hurriedly said: "Ma'am, we can't take the case privately." What Yang meant was that she wanted them to continue looking for Xiao Yanfeng.Little Yanfeng's life and death are unknown, Zhang Yuqing doesn't want to take over this mess.

Seeing Zhang Yuqing's evasion, Yang could not continue to say anything.Because of this case, the four judges have already gone through a lot of trouble, and they are really embarrassed to force others to make things difficult.

Zhang Yuqing turned around and said: "However, I heard that Xiao Yanfeng is from Chang'an. If he can't get along in Yangzhou, will he go back to Chang'an?" Naturally, quietly, without trace, Zhang Yuqing helped Ouyang The family pointed out the way, hoping that the Ouyang family would get rid of that scourge as soon as possible.

Yang Shi nodded, thoughtfully, and said, "It's very possible."

……

After finishing their errands, the four stayed in Yangzhou for two days.After strolling around the Slender West Lake and the banks of the Grand Canal, I still couldn't find Xiao Yanfeng.

Before leaving, Song Yi came to see him off, and returned Jiu Qijian to Zhen Ziyu by the way.Zhen Ziyu drew out his sword, and the name was already engraved on it. On the shiny blade, the word "Jiuqi" was dazzling, and Zhen Ziyu's eyes were a little moist.Even with Di Jinghong by his side, with these two words, he feels more at ease.

Before boarding the boat, Song Yi pulled Zhang Yuqing aside to chat about family affairs, and asked Zhang Yuqing, "That is the second son of the Liu family in western Sichuan?"

Zhang Yuqing looked at Liu Boen from a distance, "Well, I'm a little silly." Liu Boen was holding a bag of snacks, hugging her as if afraid of being snatched away.

Song Yi said: "It's fine to be handsome, but to be too shrewd is also troublesome. I have seen the paintings made by Mr. Liu, but he is a clever person."

Zhang Yuqing said: "I didn't see Jun, I didn't see Qiao, I just saw that he was a foodie."

Song Yi teased him, saying: "Isn't that handsome? If the woman in the blacksmith's shop is half as sympathetic as Mr. Liu, I would have followed."

Zhang Yuqing lowered his head and smiled, it was rare to see him, a little shy.

Song Yi smiled and said: "The boat is here, tell the old general for me... Hey, you can't go back, little general, we are not the same. One day Song Yi is lucky enough to be cleared of his charges, and then he will go back to serve his old man."

Zhang Yuqing cupped her fists and bid farewell to Song Yi.The four set off to return to Guanlan.
